Great to have you with us this is r. T. International. There are fears of a new migration crisis with almost 50000 people crossing into europe in just a day and so after turkey opened up its borders to the European Union anchor effectively tore up an agreement with brussels under which it took charge of millions of Asylum Seekers in return for Financial Aid on the other side greek police greeted the newcomers with tear gas. But it. Was. Still follows a flare up in tensions in syrias last remaining terrorist stronghold live province turkey threatened to launch a full scale military operation there dozens of its troops were killed in a syrian airstrike that targeted jihadists was voiced concerns about a fresh impetus of refugees fleeing instability in the region the hostilities of all but ruined turkeys deescalation agreement with russia where if a national picks up the story. Its maybe syrias last remaining terrorist stronghold but seems to be killing the last remaining hope for peace or even a dialogue there. Turkey which once committed to working with russia to clear terrorists from the area is making a u. Turn yesterday i asked what is your goal if you want to set up a base you can set up a base to draw your troops back from where we leave us or face to face with the regime the commons came after 33 turkish soldiers were reportedly killed in a syrian airstrike on adlib according to the Russian Military the troops died while operating alongside terrorists and turkey failed to inform us that they were there. The syrian army has every right to due to regular violations of the cease fire from inside the eclipse zone to neutralize terrorists so we cannot restrict the syrian army from fulfilling requirements written in the Un Resolution and a cry for help and car a cold and emergency meeting with nato they made speculation that alliance could be dragged into war nothing was offered more than words of support i dont think nato forces will enter syria in support of those whove gone the problem for turkey is the Nato Alliance principle is an attack on the lawn as an attack on all but the turks might be risking trying to say able to attack by one nato states brings in all the others to support it and i think theres a lot of reluctance to see new to come into direct confrontation with russia so theres quite a lot of powerful voices in nato who support the turks desire to see the syrian armys offensive stopped but im not sure they want to go beyond words and perhaps symbolic gestures so it seems. Have begun deployed another tactic trying to force europes hand. What we did is we opened up orders because you promised us assistance but you did nothing and we will not close those doors because the e. U. Must keep its word just hours later crowds of migrants rushed to the frontier buy food by bus by train even risking their lives at sea. And not all of them are from syria im from afghanistan we are going to greece for a better life the turkish government did right by opening the borders i have been in turkey since i was 3 im originally from afghanistan i want to go to greece because i want to move to europe Living Conditions are better there but there wasnt exactly the warmest of welcomes on all for on the other side of the border agree even used tear gas in a bid to make the new comers abandoned their dreams of a better life which most were strengthening forces on landed at sea Additional Police and army forces are being transferred the government is determined to do whatever is necessary to safeguard our borders. So new wave of the refugee crisis in europe relations with russia again plunge into new lows nato losing its patients well maybe even more turbulence than ever before in just a matter of weeks elegans managed to undo the progress of the last 2 years taken the world in a direction thats the exact opposite of the peace the turkish president still promises to restore its a serious escalation. Who chose to intervene militarily directly because they were doing so by proxy but really an organized i mean. There are groups. That. Whats ok for a political reasons because the russians and the syrians didnt want to leave the region lead to a direct open you should be presence and it is not legitimate its not sanctioned by any Un Resolution and it will answer that. Region or an occupation by foreign power or syrian territory. The editor in chief and other Staff Members working for Russia Sputnik news agency in turkey have reportedly been detained in ankara sputnik says Turkish Police have also searched their office in istanbul the reason for the search remains a name and correspondent Saskia Taylor has more on this developing story. Well of course we know that there are a lot of eyes on turkey at the moment on what some are calling a developing crisis but there is another story from that that is worth discussing 3 people who work for Russias News Agency attacked outside their homes on saturday its not thought that anyone was injured but either way clearly an unpleasant situation and now there are reports that the editor in chief of the bureau has now been detained but perhaps whats most worrying about all of this is that the whereabouts of those who were under attack on now unknown because since going to the police to record what happened to them file a complaint they have not been seen something that has clearly drawn both condemnation and concern from moscow on the turkish authorities to intervene provide safety to the Russian Media and ensure that all circumstances are clarified what details do we have about the attacks themselves or indeed possible motives behind them while reports are suggesting they were not spontaneous but rather a coordinated affair and again reportedly that they were instigated by turkish nationalists some of claiming that these people gathered outside the sputnik employees private homes some even managed to break into them and that they were allegedly chanting nationalist slogans and accuse them of betraying that country because they work for the russian outlet some articles are saying that phrases like turkey for the tocs and russian spies were being thrown around but thats not confirmed why would that be such a still a t towards these employees though while some within turkey are blaming russia for the deaths of dozens of turkish soldiers in a syrian as strike even though im correct itself has confirmed that the russian afterwards was not in any way involved and i do want to briefly mention that there was and not that motive suggested. Threats an attempted attack against. Journalists outside the homes in ankara. They were reportedly detained today over a. On sukkot as you threw g. s to ensure the safety of foreign correspondents now the article in question that we just heard in that tweet is one in which 1939 disputed referendum in the now turkish region of her time is discussed with the suggestion that it was in fact raped by the turks again i want to confirm that there is absolutely no confirmation of the link to that attack but it is briefly worth mentioning that unfortunate is not the 1st time and has faced problems in turkey for example back in 2016 that website was temporarily shut down and blocked by the countrys Telecom Regulators as for these latest attacks and the alleged detention of the editor in chief of that bureau well of course its drawing a lot of concern a lot of questions and concern over the safety of all employees so well certainly be following it. The 1st for is of Julian Assange and his u. S. Extradition case wrapped up this week the decision on whether he will be handed over or not will be reached in may when further hearings are scheduled.

A songe was in a grave condition before court but during the extradition proceedings that got even worse he was being held in a seethrough room without any access to his lawyers and while he was being delivered to this room he was handcuffed 11 times he underwent a full body search twice and went through 5 different rooms before he finally entered the court moreover a songe couldnt take part in the Court Process he was deprived of any kind of interaction with his lawyers but he tried to reach out to be by passing a piece of paper through a gap in the glass box he was being held in and he was told off by the guard because of that i mean this is inconceivable how can a person be in Court Without being able to interact or communicate with his lawyers who are representing his interests.

Julian assange is a friend of mine and thats not the Julian Assange sitting in the court room but this man is mentally and physically shrunken and how could it be otherwise after a whole decade of this cruel and unusual punishment who will volunteer to be the next julian our son who will receive the evidence which checks out as being true of high crimes and misdemeanors by the Us Government or any government for that matter including our own and then report it to the public.

Residents in northeastern france are trying foul overflight hipping theyre accusing the neighbors in belgium of illegally dumping trash over the border picks up the story. This may look like part of a landfill site but its not all of this waste has been dumped here illegally were just a few miles from the border with belgium and luxembourg and the french town of all core mu 9 is one of many struggling to cope with the war you can see mountains and the mountains of garbage that have appeared since october in nearby red its a similar story trash both household and commercial has been dumped under the cover of darkness city at 1st we thought it was a regular waste but it turns out people are illegally dumping their washing machines. There throwing everything away. Yes but here we see its far more serious we estimate around 200 tons of waste its enormous as far as the pollution we dont know whats inside it could be tonnes of who knows what type of products chemicals. We dont know we see cleaning products plastics what more could be hidden it didnt take long before calls track down where the waste was coming from much if we did the arms looking who the trench piles and piles of it it all had signs of being from the same place we searched and found out it was from on turn up. And that if there is an invoice is it and. Im very clear it says and who have been so of s o o when the company was contacted it denied any knowledge of illegal waste dumping but the local resident jessica told me that since that statement the fly tipping has continued its been described as a dumping on an industrial scale and you can see why back in redone the local. Fishermans association is also concerned. In the water source or close to this pollution so there can be a problem because it could affect our pond this is the 21st century there are designated places to put waste like this on its an acceptable people are doing this and regulate the Mayors Office says the cost of cleaning this up is beyond its means no need of yourself on a financial level for us this is impossible to solve we have a Small Community of 1000. 00 people it would cost the equivalent of the whole annual budget to get rid of this policy a criminal investigation into the vase problem with cross border dumping has we know you print and customs agents have stepped up their patrols now in 2017 they reported that 7 metric tons of waste like this was illegally trafficked into france in 2018 that shot up to 130000000 metric tons now although there are no figures yet available for 29000 it is clear that this issue is escalating the communities here off fed up of being a dumping ground for of the peoples waste they want more regulation and a calling on the e. U. To step in to solve a problem that some believe europes open borders are helping to facilitate charlotte ski for r. T. In mosul still to come for this hour germanys lifted a ban on the sale of Euthanasia Services leaving some concern that the death will be exploited for profit details after the break. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race is on spearing Dramatic Development only mostly im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical. To sit down and talk. Jimmies lifted a ban on the commercial sale of euthanasia but critics warn the right to die will now be exploited for profit into all of it takes a lot. Almost 5 years after it was banned the highest court in germany has ruled that blocking assisted suicide is unconstitutional and making its ruling on wednesday the Constitutional Court in culture is said everyone has a right to live and a right to die article 217 of the german criminal code outlawed euthanasia as well as the advertising of the services what this ruling from the Constitutional Court means is that thats being overturned and not only could Companies Offer euthanasia but that advertising for the deaf could also stop being seeing the thinking behind wednesdays court ruling is that this will allow those in extreme paying and suffering from terminal illnesses to end their lives on their terms however senior voices within Palliative Care are warning that this could perhaps only to the normalization and indeed the commodification of suicide in society now the facilitation of suicide for the sick and tired of life is turning into a normal Service Anyone who allows you to nature will sooner or later make it compulsory to die especially in this society is economize designers knowledge of experience across all other countries shows that supply creates demand immediately following the ruling politicians are asking what situations this will be allowed in also what the commercial implications will be for companies wanting to get involved in the euthanasia business i want clear rules about when medical assistance in particular is allowed and when commercial offerings are excluded it is perfectly normal for people who have a terminal diagnosis to fail suicide in fact some of the studies show that i have 80 percent go through a period of depression with some sort of sidle thoughts and so what we should be doing is trying to find ways to assist those people in getting through that period and actually. Being there lives rather than promoting assisted suicide and Euthanasia Services so we would be extremely worried about any commercialization all round of the process or indeed promotion that would lead to many fine report people feeling that their lives were not worth living and actually ending them prematurely highest people here in berlin what their thoughts d are on the ruling aware that this is right for germany its not a commercial thing dying it is something that needs care security it needs. Yet professionalism if you are certain things that you cannot put to seal to people like its not a business you before yes i know want to commit suicide but im suffering i want to end my life you cannot do that to pay for it seems like there was very bad incentives there if for example as advertising was actually targets people who already have a hard time it could lead to people considering suicide more strong
